Or one from Durance or Diptyque, both produced and designed in France. The cheapest is Durance and you can find in their shop, candles smelling like Provence. I’ve recently bought tomatoes smelling candle, I wasn’t disappointed! I feel like I’m dancing in a great pool of gazpacho every time I light it!
